Kim Says
Over the past 17 years, I have heard my client’s use the phrase “Kim says”. I would overhear them say things like: “Kim says Clinique eyeliner is the best” or “Kim says make sure you get your brows threaded three days before the wedding”. Initially, I found it very endearing and then I realized how flattering this really was. My clients see me as an expert in the world of makeup application, hair styling, styling and trends. They really value my opinion and expertise. Since I am passionate about makeup, hair and style trends and also very...

I had the pleasure of working with Shevonne this past weekend. Shevonne has been looking forward to this day for a long time and I had an opportunity to really collaborate with her over time to create a custom look for her – to compliment both her personality and style. Shevonne put a lot of trust in my ability to come up with both her hair and makeup styles to suit her wedding attire. I would describe her look as a “romantic fairy princess” in Bollywood! Shevonne has a unique sense of style and loves to create her own modern take on a vintage look. I was inspired...

Selena’s first hired me for her engagement and she was so happy that she immediately hired me for her wedding and reception.

She felt much more comfortable with me styling her as she knew that I was really listening to her needs and wants. I wanted to create a modern day Indian princess look with soft colors and...
Read MoreAn Indian Bride in Blue!
I had a wonderful experience working with my bride, Pam! When I first met her, she told me that “I am not going to be your typical Indian bride”. I was intrigued and loved her plans for her special day. Not everyone has a traditional wedding ceremony at a church, temple , mandir, or mosque, in fact Pam had a outdoor justice of the peace ceremony that led into a cocktail party which turned into a reception. Pam’s wedding was a perfect blend of east meets west and although she wore an Indian outfit, she chose to wear a vibrant blue instead of a traditional red. She also...
Read MoreBreathtaking Bride!
I would like you to “virtually” meet Indu! This bride put all of her trust into my hands. She told me what she was looking for and how she wanted to be seen as a bride who looked unique but also simple. She did not want to look overdone but she did want to radiate a natural look that was flawless with a touch of drama. When I arrived at her house, Indu was like any bride, Indian or Western, I noticed that she definitely had a case of the butterflies. Part of my job as a makeup artist is to come in and provide a calming and reassuring presence to the bride and her family....

It was such a amazing experience working with Puneet on her engagement day. When her family saw her, their faces were filled with pride and joy. This is the reason why getting up at 4am in the morning is not a chore for me. Being able to capture the vision a client has is very rewarding to me. Puneet’s kind soul made my job so thoroughly enjoyable. I am so looking forward to getting her all styled up for her upcoming wedding and reception! [Show slideshow] ...
